A man has appeared in court accused of stalking a woman and possessing a knife. Following his arrest on Friday (March 16), Timothy John Greet appeared before magistrates in Truro on Monday morning (March 19).

Greet is formerly of the Helston and Lizard area but has latterly been living in the Wadebridge area.

The 30-year-old, who gave his name as Timmy in court, is accused of stalking a woman and possessing a knife on March 16. He denied both allegations and pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Alison May, on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service, said the case was too serious to be heard at the magistrates’ court and proposed it be sent instead to the crown court.
